CCS world projects: WESTC R-Sailine
Two pilot tests involving CO2 injection will be performed at the Rosetta CO2 Storage project site. One of the experiments will involve injecting up to 2000 tonnes of CO2 into a brine-filled zone in the McCormick sand. Two wells, a CO2 injector and an observation well, will be installed in a saline zone located beneath the gas trap in the McCormick sand. The current best estimate for the target depth of the saline test is 1037 to 1067 m. Both wells will be drilled to approximately the same depth and the casing will initially be perforated in the saline zone. CO2 injection will commence after logging and testing the wells.
